1911, King George V, Silver rupee, Calcutta Mint, no mint mark, Pig-type, Graded & amp; Slabbed by NGC MS 64+.Notes: Engraved by Bertram MacKennal, the first issue (type A) of the 1911 Rupee included an indistinctly drawn elephant on the chain of the king's Order of the Indian Empire. To some it looked like a pig, which caused offence. The issue was withdrawn, and many were melted down while a new obverse die was cut with a more realistic elephant to start the process of replacing them (Type B). A superb high-grade example of the iconic first-year silver rupee of King George V, displaying outstanding lustre, crisp details and exceptional eye appeal for the issue. An MS 64+ grade by NGC places this piece among the finest certified survivors, making it a highly desirable choice for advanced collectors of British India coinage and premium-grade portfolios.
